Isn't it crazy how many people have boats that just get neglected? In our area people just don't realize the work it takes to maintain a boat in salt water! Salt water can destroy a boat quickly if you don't stay on top of the maintenance. First to go is the bilge area if its wet with salt water!

[@honeybunbandit1]

The project boat definitely needs a haulout and deep clean but looks like a fun/satisfying project 😊

[@WillFixThat]

Definitely needs some tlc!

[@honeybunbandit1]

@@WillFixThat I wouldn't mind working on that lol

It doesn't surprise me after seeing how people treat their cars. 50k cars and up never get washed or maintained like they will run forever. It's worth taking care of things says the guy who has been driving a Jeep CJ 7 for 35 years!

[@WillFixThat]

Agree with you! We still drive a 1997 & 2003 original owners we bought both cars brand new and we take care of them! Our mechanic tells us to keep driving them. Boats are definitely neglected!

[@johnfkeating]

If you add enough started fluid directly in the carb lol

[@mortenchristensen7586]

Looks like a sunreef 68 surpreme 😊

[@WillFixThat]

Yup that’s right more to come on that one in a few days! 😊

[@ryanh4889]

SeaRay in their infinite wisdom has placed the circuit breaker for the engine hatch lift in the engine room of a 310 I am working on. So if the breaker trips there is no way to lift the hatch to reset the breaker!

[@WillFixThat]

Isn’t that crazy?

[@user-pg5kw7ru5c]

Yes

[@WillFixThat]

Nope not yet!

[@jamesc6593]

Great video. Please tell us the make model and year of the boat. This will help understand all the information you are sharing Thanks so much 😊

[@WillFixThat]

Searay Sundancer 2005

[@fatcat-hc4pj]

👍👍 did you get the boat to start?

[@WillFixThat]

Not yet had to get new batteries & install a battery charger.

[@jetlag4754]

Sea Ray has a 12 volt plug on the helm that you can plug into and as long as the battery charger is OFF it will power that engine hatch. Hard to believe people let a boat go like that. Sad.

[@WillFixThat]

Yes very sad …. Boats take maintenance.

[@johnfkeating]

Looks like a nice 320

[@WillFixThat]

Not that nice … couldn’t get it started! It was neglected.

[@DrEd-th2lu]

That’s a great project for someone. Sea-Ray’s are good boats if it’s V-Drives. 350’s are a bit under powered though….

[@WillFixThat]

Yup if you like gas engines!

[@nameunavailable456]

I thought I left this on Sunday, but I don't see it now. Anyway...leave a little time at the end of the videos so we can have time to leave a thumbs up. I often forget until you remind me.

[@WillFixThat]

Best thing to do is give the Thumbs up right at the beginning so you don't forget at the end! We had asking for the thumbs up but I guess people need to hear it sometimes.

[@raymondhawkins748]

I would love to get one of those boats and repair one for my family and I. How do I get a chance to get one similar to what you testing?

[@WillFixThat]

These can be an expensive headache so make sure you check them out good and hire professionals to test!

[@jasonhiscox7764]

I was looking forward to the will it start then it changed to an air conditioning job

[@WillFixThat]

We finished up had to get new batteries and didn’t go back for a couple weeks! Still hasn’t started!

[@rickyroan3419]

2 DAYS THAT MAKE YOU HAPPY A/ The day you buy the boat B/ The day you sell the boat….😅😊😮😢

[@WillFixThat]

Oh my exactly what they say! 🤪

[@bbviper3674]

I want that boat who do I get in touch with to discuss?

[@WillFixThat]

Let us find out if the owner wants to sell it!

[@scottmaz4063]

Sure it will start but that boat needs to be pulled to clean and paint bottom. Major clean up for interior. Cha ching time.

[@WillFixThat]

So far it hasn’t started 🥴 but definitely needs some clean up!

[@seerex8398]

I believe sunreef

[@WillFixThat]

You’re absolutely right!

[@mennoboon8037]

Should start no problem still after 3 years its not that long

[@WillFixThat]

Hasn’t started yet … we will see!

[@karlmaster1959]

I really like your channel but Ya may want to get some floor protection under all those tools laying on those nice wood floors.

[@WillFixThat]

Great idea 👍

Are you referring to the big grey one in the distance?

[@deborahbaty3369]

of course it will start. It's mechanical or electrical.

Well hasn’t started yet … we will see.

Fountain pajot motor catamaran

[@frankorobinson1540]

gunna cost about 5 k to bring her back to her former glory maybe more if there's no hidden surprises but if your into tugboats that kool too.😊

[@WillFixThat]

Might be a bit more then 5k we still didn’t get an engine started so we know there are problems with one for sure.

[@mechanic4744]

More 25k

[@WillFixThat]

@@mechanic4744yup just depends on the findings!

[@andreasward4764]

5 grand for the haul out, bottom paint, wax, interior...

[@Harrybollox]

Business must be good, a new hat . Electric hatches, yghhh, take too long to open and sometimes just don’t.

[@WillFixThat]

Yay a new hat 🤣 that he’s not crazy about! The sides mess with him seeing good enough from hitting his head! Yes took a bit to get that hatch open.

[@jdeshetlerII]

You should park wherever you want if you're fixing boats. Otherwise why not use a golf cart like everyone else in Florida?. :-)

[@WillFixThat]

We do ride a golf cart sometimes but it just doesn't hold the amount of tools that are sometimes needed for our jobs. Since we don't always know what we are getting ourselves into.

[@JohnMedeiros-lu5uz]

Before you start boat / pull plugs & lube before turning mt over.

[@WillFixThat]

Hasn’t started yet!

That makes me so angrey
